An antioxidant-rich mushroom noodles (gluten-free) rich in L-tryptophan-serotonin-melatonin (TSM) was developed under minimal processing condition(s) without perturbing the natural antioxidant synergy. In vitro release kinetics studies in a standard dissolution apparatus confirmed substantial releases of the target biomolecules from the designer no...

Gynecological malignancies are most leading causes of death among women worldwide. The high prevalence of gynecologic malignancies remains significant, necessitating to turn the novel treatment approach like immunotherapy, wherein cancer cells are killed by the invasion of immune system. In recent year, immunotherapy has mostly an advanced treatmen...

Background Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) has emerged as one of the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders seen in women of childbearing age throughout the whole world. The complex pathophysiology, different diagnostic criteria, and various manifestations attached to several environmental factors, including lifestyle influences, have mad...

Our recent investigation directed to synthesize a novel ruthenium–phloretin complex accompanied by the study of antioxidant in addition to DNA binding capabilities, to determine the chemotherapeutic activity against breast carcinoma in vitro and in vivo. Ruthenium–phloretin complex was synthesized and characterized by different spectroscopic method...

The pharmacological characteristics of phytochemicals have prompted a lot of interest in their application in disease management. Due to the high incidence of cancer related mortality and morbidity throughout the world; experiments have concentrated on identifying the anticancer potential of natural substances. Many phytochemicals such as flavonoid...

Bavachinin is a flavanone obtained from the Chinese herb, Fructus Psoraleae. Flavonoids and flavanones are recognized as cancer preventive agents. We investigated the anticancer properties of bavachinin using a model of dimethylhydrazine (DMH and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced rat colon cancer. We investigated aberrant crypt foci (ACF), hyper...

Background: Our recent investigation directed to synthesize and characterize a novel ruthenium– phloretin complex accompanied by the study of antioxidant in addition to DNA binding capabilities, and to determine the chemotherapeutic activity against breast carcinoma in vitro and in vivo approach. Methods: Ruthenium–phloretin complex was synthesized...

Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a microvascular complication of diabetes has been a significant health issue globally. However, theaflavin enriched black tea extract (BTE-TF) could restrain DN. Objective The main objective of this exploration was to elucidate the effect of BTE-TF on DN, though the underlying mechanism remains unclear and req...

To explore fresh strategies in colorectal cancer (CRC) chemotherapy, we evaluated the capability of the ruthenium-phloretin complex in exterminating colon cancer by effectively addressing multiple apoptotic mechanisms on HT-29 cancer cells together with an animal model of colorectal cancer activated by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine and dextran sulfate sodi...

In pursuit of a novel approach in colon cancer therapy, we explored the ability of ruthenium baicalein complex to eradicate colon cancer by efficiently targeting various apoptotic pathways on human colon cancer cell line and on a DMH and DSS induced murine model of colorectal cancer. In this study, we provide direct proof of the chemotherapeutic po...

The present study describes the synthesis of novel chalcone based 1-{3-[3-(substituted phenyl) prop-2-enoyl] phenyl} thioureas (4a-c) using Claisen Schmidt condensation and investigates their protective role in diabetic conditions and associated oxidative stress. Spectral properties for the synthesized compounds were studied. Novel compounds were s...

Obesity is a disorder comprising of excess body fat which is associated with an increase in health problems. A person with a body mass index (BMI) of over 30 kg/m2, is measured as obese, where BMI is obtained by dividing a person’s weight by the square of the person’s height. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweigh...

Breast cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer in women. In the current study, transition metal ruthenium was complexed with flavonoid chrysin to evaluate the chemotherapeutic potential of this compound in Michigan Cancer Foundation‐7 (MCF‐7) human mammary cancer cell line and 7,12‐dimethylbenz(α)anthracene‐induced mammary cancer in female Spra...

Flavonoid metal ion complexes have been deliberated in recent years and are considered as a new class of medicinal agents with enhanced therapeutic activity and low toxicity. Our study deals with chemotherapeutic effects of vanadium, when coordinated with the flavonoid quercetin on a defined model of chemically induced rat mammary carcinogenesis in...

Significance: The present study demonstrates that the effect of vanadium-luteolin complex in HT-29 cells and dimethylhydrazine challenged rats, curtail cell proliferation through induction of apoptosis mediated via activation of the key proteins involved in the intrinsic pathway like p53, Bax, caspase-3 and downregulating Bcl2, mTOR/Akt, angiogeni...

Flavonoids are the most investigated phytochemicals due to their pharmacological and therapeutic activities. Their ability to chelate with metal ions has resulted in the emergence of a new category of molecules with a broader spectrum of pharmacological activities. In this study, the ruthenium quercetin complex has been synthesised and anticancer a...

Quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) one of the most abundant dietary flavonoids, has been investigated in the presence of magnesium (II) in methanol. The complex formation between quercetin and magnesium (II) was examined under UV-visible, Infra-red and (1)H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The spectroscopic data denoted that quercetin can rea...

The complex formation between luteolin (L) and vanadium(IV) oxide sulphate monohydrate (VOSO4·H2O) was examined under UV-visible, infra-red spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy and NMR techniques. The spectroscopic data indicated that luteolin reacts with vanadium oxide cation (VO(+2)) through 4-carbonyl-5-hydroxy chelation site in the two luteolin mole...

A new trend was developed for the formation of a complex between vanadium and flavonoid derivatives in order to increase the intestinal absorption and to reduce the toxicity of vanadium compounds. The vanadium-rutin complex was characterized by several spectroscopic techniques like ultraviolet (UV)-visible, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), NMR, m...
